    This paper demonstrates a low-voltage wideband downconverter along with an integrated transformer RF balun using the 2-mu m GaInP/GaAs HBT technology. This transformer is a symmetric type and plays a role as a single-to-differential balun. Without the parasitics between the transformer and the substrate, the transformer can work at higher frequencies. This transformer downconverter operates from 1.5 GHz to 14 GHz with around 20-dB conversion gain and 1.8-GHz IF 3-dB bandwidth. The frequency range of the mixing operation is wide and covers the digital video broadcasting via satellite (DVB-S) bands. This mixer hence is useful for DVB-S applications. Since there is no dc voltage drop on the transformer, the voltage supply of the mixer core is only 2.4 V and the current consumption is approximately 8.6 mA. The chip size of the entire mixer is 1 mm x 1 mm while the transformer occupies the estate of 150 mu m x 150 mu m.

    A 15.5-dB conversion gain 0.35-mu m SiGe HBT Gilbert mixer with the lumped-element Marchand balun for 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz UWB applications is implemented using standard silicon processes. This mixer has the 1.5-GHz IF 3-dB bandwidth as well as the 15.8-dB noise figure. The balun size is only 0.25 mm x 0.5 mm. Because of the balanced structure of the Marchand balun, the magnitude imbalance and phase difference of outputs are below 1 dB and about 184 degrees, respectively. In the present of a lossy substrate, the dissipated loss of the balun is still less than 4 dB thanks to the advantage of the lumped-element technique. The total current consumption of the entire mixer is 13.9 mA at 5 V voltage supply while the chip size including probing pads is 1 mm x 0.9 mm.
